Big Property List<\/a> offers what everyone hunting or selling property wants \u2013 a nationwide listing service to match Rightmove, which is free to use by agents and which utilises Google\u2019s innovation. It gives agents, home seekers and sellers on a budget, a no-cost, no frills, nationwide shop-window.<\/p>\nThe Big Property List\u2019s managing director, James Cole, says: \u201cAny agent can send property adverts for free to the map-based Google system. These properties will then automatically appear \u2013 for free \u2013 on The Big Property List.\u201d<\/p>\n
He adds: \u201cEstate agents fork out millions of pounds a year to advertise on nationwide sites. There will be no reason to do this anymore, with thebigpropertylist.co.uk and Google providing the same service, in a familiar style, for free.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAt thebigpropertylist.co.uk we do not have to justify how we have to charge the fees normally paid by estate agents to a portal, allowing us to focus totally on what the consumer wants. If we help people find the property they want, this results in better quality enquiries for estate agents. So what benefits the consumer benefits the agent.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

<\/a>Google announced in June \u201cthat UK Google Maps users will be able to search for listings from estate agents and property websites directly on the map\u201d. This announcement led to intense debate in the property industry about the future of UK property portals such as Primelocation and Rightmove, centring on the search engine\u2019s entry into the property market and its potential to undermine the position of established online businesses.<\/p>\n
